Answer:

E = 1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}

Explanation:

Hi!

The perpendicular distance 2.4cm, is much less than the distance to both endpoints of the wire, which is aprox 1m. Then the edge effect is negligible at this field point, and we can aproximate the wire as infinitely long.

The electric filed of an infinitely long wire is easy to calculate. Let's call z the axis along the wire. Because of its simmetry (translational and rotational), the electric field E must point in the radial direction,  and it cannot depende on coordinate z. To calculate the field Gauss law is used, as seen in the image, with a cylindrical gaussian surface. The result is:

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}\\\lambda=\text{charge per unit length}=\frac{4.95 \mu C}{2 m} = 2.475 \frac{C}{m}\\r=\text{perpendicular distance to wire}\\\epsilon_0=8.85*10^{-12}\frac{C^2}{Nm^2}

Then the electric field at the point of interest is estimated as:

E = \frac{\22.475}{2\pi*( 8.85*10^{-12})*(2.4*10^{-2})}\frac{N}{C}=1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}

  • Answer:

<em>500 sec</em>

<em>8 min 20 sec</em>

  • Explanation:

<em>Hi there !</em>

<em />

<em>8 m ................ 1 s </em>

<em>4000 m ........ x s</em>

<em>x = 4000m×1s/8m = 500 sec = 8 min 20 sec</em>

Naya [18.7K]
-Surgen de una interacción.
-Nunca aparece una sola: son dos y simultáneas.
-Actúan sobre cuerpos diferentes: una en cada cuerpo.
-Nunca forman un par de fuerzas: tienen la misma línea de acción.
-Un cuerpo que experimenta una única interacción no está en equilibrio, pues sobre el aparece una fuerza unica que lo acelera. Para estar en equilibrio se requieren por lo menos dos interacciones.

The 1994 Winter Olympics included the aerials competition in skiing. In this event skiers speed down a ramp that slopes sharply
kykrilka [37]

Answer: Got It!

<em>Explanation:  </em>let s = speed at launch

v = 0 at top = s sin 63 - g t

so at top

t = s sin 63/g = .0909 s

h = 13.6 = s sin 63 t - 4.9 t^2

13.6 = .081s^2 - .0405 s^2

s^2 = 336

s = 18.3 m/s

A horizontal spring with spring constant 130 N/m is compressed 17 cm and used to launch a 2.8 kg box across a frictionless, hori
olasank [31]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

        k = 130 N/m,       \Delta x = 17 cm = 0.17 m   (as 1 m = 100 cm)

     mass (m) = 2.8 kg

When the spring is compressed then energy stored in it is as follows.

             Energy = \frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

Now, spring energy gets converted into kinetic energy when the box is launched.

So,    \frac{1}{2}kx^{2} = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

   \frac{1}{2} \times 130 \times (0.17)^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times v^{2}

          v^{2} = \frac{3.757}{2.8}

                     = 1.34

                v = 1.15 m/sec

Now,

           Frictional force = \mu \times mg

                                    = 0.15 \times 2.8 \times 9.8

                                    = 4.116 N

Also,  Kinetic energy = work done by friction

           \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = F_{f} \times d

           \frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times (1.15)^{2} = 4.116 \times d

             1.8515 = 4.116 \times d

                 d = 0.449 m

Thus, we can conclude that the box slides 0.449 m across the rough surface before stopping.
